Outcomes
Upon
completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in geology are
expected to:
- Identify,

and interpret them in the context of geologic processes;
- Analyze and
report quantitative geologic data collected in the field and laboratory;
- Read, write,
present and critically evaluate geologic reports, professional
papers and maps;
- Synthesize
information from a variety of disciplines to solve geologic problems;
- Define and
